my second ever picture!

Okay this is a much more lugubrious treatment of the neighborhood, despite the lush colors, but you can see right away how amazing the DP1 is.  Man, it makes me want to go out and take some picky wicks!  Here's a link, go buy one... hee hee.

my first picture with the DP1

I didn't really know what I had when I took my first picture with the DP1. Later, when I looked at the image on the computer, the colors and the quality of the photo really took my breath away. This is a JPG, processed through picasa, so it's hardly an accurate representation, but in the original, I could see people around the pond behind the Glessner museum, and the empty units in the new construction.

It was really amazing. What's more, is I felt that it captured what I had come to despise about the south loop. The ersatz bank of prefab townhomes flanked on all sides by ugly new construction and rehabbed warehouses typifies the Disney-esque bleakness of my original Chicago neighborhood.


I paid 400 for mine on Ebay, and it had a nasty dent on it, which I hate.

Here are some boys I love, taken with my trusty DP1s
